In the exercise of this, inter alia, two precepts are put into practice: ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. In the present article, it is examined how this is conducted during Francis’ Pontificate towards the Republic of Turkey to fight the problem of Christianophobia in the country. In the end, it is demonstrated that though there is congruence between the foreign policy’s words and actions, unfortunately, the cordiality seen between political and religious leaders has not permeated the Turkish citizenry yet.

The border analysed in this essay is the Mexican-American border, and arguments for both positions of the debate coming from North American academia will be evaluated. Despite many scholars do not necessarily advocate in favour of one side, their arguments’ logic is usually cited in the debate. Ultimately, it will be pointed out that while pro-open border supporters have a wider array of arguments backing less strict border controls (e.g. human rights, the environment, etc.), pro-closed border adherents generally focused only on traditional security arguments to advocate in favour of tougher border controls. Consequently, the type of migration governability policies that each side will pursue will also be equally different. ISSN: 2007-7130

Si bien es cierto que Europa ya no es el indiscutible centro del mundo, si es falso argumentar que “Europa ya no está por todos lados”. Por ejemplo, en estricto sentido, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos tienen frontera común, de la misma forma que Dinamarca tiene aguas nacionales en el Océano Ártico, a pesar de que el país nórdico se encuentra atrapado entre el Mar Báltico y el Mar del Norte. Los territorios de ultramar europeos son “los tentáculos” que algunas antiguas potencias imperiales, como Reino Unido y Dinamarca, aún tienen extendidos por el mundo. Pero, ¿por qué siguen sin independizarse estos territorios? La presente investigación indaga sobre dos casos: Reino Unido y Dinamarca. Primero, se dará una breve introducción general. Enseguida, se abordará a Reino Unido, primero dando una breve introducción a los Territorios de Ultramar Británicos, luego a las tensiones contemporáneas Territorios-metrópoli, y al final puntualizando los beneficios que obtienen tanto los Territorios como Reino Unido de la no independencia de los primeros. Después se hará exactamente lo mismo con Dinamarca pero, a diferencia de Reino Unido (que tiene 14 Territorios), se dará más lujo de detalle pues solo hay dos Territorios de Ultramar Daneses. Al final, el lector comprenderá porque la no independencia de los Territorios es altamente beneficiosa tanto para ellos mismos como para sus metrópolis.

But, what determines the success of humanitarian interventions? or, better say, can there be criteria to judge whether a humanitarian intervention will be a failure or not? In this article, some insights are provided to demonstrate that 'humanitarian' interventions have nothing about humanitarianism but only the name. Instead, 'humanitarian' interventions are always about interests, and because interests can change, it is difficult to establish rigorous criteria to assess whether interventions have achieved their objectives or not.

It first shows in numbers how bad the situation is and points out when this issue worsened. Afterwards, some political and economic implications related to this problem are mentioned. Finally, it concludes with a quadripartite suggestion aimed at improving the status quo taken from a study about inequality.

The events surrounding the performances from the World Health Organisation and the Mexican government are analysed and compared with one of the major theories of international relations: political realism. Herewith, this paper demonstrates that the political responses taken by both of the aforementioned authorities failed to tackle the issue and to protect the people because they refused to take realist, tough and drastic measures since the beginning of the outbreak despite the international environment showed them those were the type of measures that had to be taken.
